About this dive site

This dive site is located in the bay of Pria Laot on Pulau Weh, an area renowned for its unique underwater features. It’s considered a special treasure within this Indonesian island archipelago. Divers can explore thermal water bubbles that periodically release from the sandy seabed at depths ranging from 5 to 15 meters. These fascinating formations—characterized by cracks and vents—constantly change shape and size. While the surface may exhibit a noticeable sulfurous odor, the dive offers a memorable experience.
